The literature review didn’t fill the gap, because in spite of pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of Constructivism, there is a scope for further research. There is no proper quoting of the sources, and thus, the literature review remains incomplete. There remains to have a brief introduction, and a summarization of Constructivism. There needs to be an overview of the essay topic, so that the reader is not boggled with all information at first. The language of the essay will be easy and the topic will be easy to grasp. The significance of my study will be that it will provide easy insights for every reader, and not be too technical in its specifications. Thus, even a layman would understand what Constructivism is, and how technology helps in Constructivist art education. That is in fact, the major reason for this essay. It defines Constructivist environment, how technology is used, how it is used for art education. The essay below can provide an easy entry to the difficult topic, without extraneous details.
Constructivist Environment can be defined as an environment where the students are motivated to learn independently and participate actively in classroom coaching. The teachers motivate the students to gain in depth knowledge about any subject by interactivity, group activities, and with active use of their own minds. The most beneficial result of Constructivism is that the students learn to think for themselves, and broaden their horizons by themselves. It is an innovative way of encouraging learning, and make good out of students’ abilities.
With the increased use of technology, the students have access to the internet, which is a mine of information. The students can study and research for themselves, and with a proper guideline on how to use the internet, they can access the right sources and use the vast richness of the internet. The lessons and timelines can also be planned by the use of educational technology. The teachers also need guidance on the same, and they can further help students cope with the use of technology and study well.
In case of art education, drawing and painting become way easier, with tools like Adobe Photoshop. The students gain more freedom to explore different styles of painting, colors, shades, etc. The students can use the various tools, and gain in-depth knowledge about the various forms of paintings.Graphic designing is also increasingly being learnt, with the use of technology. 3D-visualization, 2D- graphics and unbound creativity; all these are possible with the knowledge gained from the internet and also practice lessons online.
This study and essay enumerates the whole topic in a comprehensible way, and makes it easy for anyone and everyone to follow. Thus, this is the triumph of this essay over the literature review.
